.TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE WELL NORTH OF
MILWAUKEE AND MADISON...MAINLY FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY...3 TO 4 INCHES IN MADISON AND 2 INCHES IN MILWAUKEE. A
CLASSIC EARLY SPRING STORM SYSTEM WILL GATHER STRENGTH OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY...THEN HEAD NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN
ILLINOIS BY SUNRISE THURSDAY MORNING. THIS TRACK IS FAVORABLE FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION NORTH OF MILWAUKEE
AND MADISON...ESPECIALLY FROM SHEBOYGAN WEST THROUGH MARQUETTE

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1151 AM CDT MON MAR 21 2016

.UPDATE...

TEMPERATURES ARE ON TRACK TOWARD HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S INLAND FROM
THE LAKE. A LAKE BREEZE WILL KEEP LAKESHORE AREAS COOLER IN THE
LOWER 40S. INLAND WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AND
EVENTUALLY SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFF TO THE
EAST. THE SUNSHINE WILL STICK AROUND THROUGH THE DAY WITH THIN HIGH
CLOUDS OVERHEAD.

QUIET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT. LOOK FOR MILD TEMPERATURES AND
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS TOMORROW. SHOWER CHANCES BEGIN NORTH OF
MILWAUKEE LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG A COLD FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...

VFR CONDITIONS TODAY THROUGH MIDDAY TUESDAY WITH SCT-BKN MID TO HIGH
CLOUDS VIA WARM ADVECTION. A 35-45 KT LLJ WILL VEER FROM MN AND IA
EARLY THIS EVENING THROUGH SRN WI LATE TNT...AND EVENTUALLY ENDING
UP ORIENTED FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS IL...IN...AND OHIO. THIS IS A
MARGINAL CASE FOR LLWS. TION/18Z TAFS/...

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 AM CDT MON MAR 21 2016/

TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EWD BY AFT WITH SLY WINDS AND WARM
ADVECTION BEGINNING. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN OVERDOING THE MID TO
HIGH CLOUDS WITH THE WARM ADVECTION SO WENT WITH PTLY CLOUDY SKIES
TODAY. 925 MB TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM 1-4C BY LATE IN THE DAY WHICH
YIELDS HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID-UPPER 40S. A LAKE BREEZE IS EXPECTED
ONCE AGAIN DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE AFTERNOON.

THE 850-700 MB WARM ADVECTION WILL INTENSIFY TNT AS A 35-45 KT
LLJ VEERS FROM SRN MN...THROUGH SRN WI...AND INTO IL AND IN BY 12Z
MON. THE LLJ IS RESPONDING TO A VORTICITY MAXIMUM AND THE LEFT
FRONT QUAD OF A 90 KT JET STREAK THAT WILL TRACK FROM THE NRN
PLAINS TO OVER SRN WI BY 12Z TUE. AT THE SFC...A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE AND WARM FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM THE MIDDLE MO RVR VALLEY
TO CENTRAL WI BY 12 TUE. FCST SOUNDINGS REMAIN FAIRLY DRY SO NO
PCPN IS EXPECTED. SLY FLOW AND WARM ADVECTION WILL KEEP LOW TEMPS
ABOVE FREEZING IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

A FAST AND ACTIVE FLOW PATTERN PREVAILS ALOFT THIS PERIOD. EXPECT
SHORTWAVE ENERGY TO EMERGE ALONG THE COASTAL PACIFIC STATES EARLY
TUESDAY...WITH TROUGHING DIGGING EQUATORWARD INTO THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON. BELT OF STRONG MID TO UPPER CYCLONIC
FLOW WILL ROUND THE TROUGH BASE ON WEDNESDAY...BEFORE EJECTING
NORTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. AS THE UPPER WAVE TRANSLATES EAST...ROCKIES LEE
CYCLOGENESIS COMMENCES ON TUESDAY WITH THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW
TRACKING EAST INTO THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY.
THEREAFTER...THE LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST-NORTHEAST INTO THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES VICINITY ON THURSDAY.

A FEW WEAK PERTURBATIONS RIPPLE THROUGH THE MEAN FLOW ON
TUESDAY...BUT BY AND LARGE THE BETTER MID TO UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
REMAINS BACK TO OUR WEST OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AND GREAT BASIN
REGIONS AT THIS TIME. ANY SUPPORT FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOULD COME FROM WEAK FRONTOGENETIC
FORCING ALONG A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT BISECTING THE AREA.
HOWEVER...THE BEST SHOT OF SEEING ANYTHING MEASURABLE ISN/T UNTIL
TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES MOISTEN. WARM THERMAL
ADVECTION SHOULD ALLOW 925 MB TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB TO AROUND 7 TO
9 DEGREES CELSIUS TUESDAY AFTERNOON...SUPPORTING HIGHS IN THE 50S
TO AROUND 60 ALONG THE ILLINOIS BORDER. EXPECT CONSIDERABLE
CLOUDINESS...ESPECIALLY IN THE MID TO HIGH LEVELS.

MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA INCREASES TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
QUICK SATURATION UP TO AROUND 10 KFT SUGGESTED BY AREA FORECAST
SOUNDINGS. INITIAL FORCING FOR ASCENT APPEARS TO BE WARM ADVECTION
DRIVEN WITH ADDITIONAL FORCING PROVIDED BY DIFFERENTIAL CYCLONIC
VORTICITY ADVECTION AND INCREASING DIVERGENCE WITHIN THE LEFT EXIT
REGION OF AN UPPER SPEED MAX LATER WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO
THURSDAY. A PRONOUNCED LOW-LEVEL THERMAL GRADIENT PERSISTS
THROUGHOUT THE EVENT WITH MID TO LOW-LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS MAXIMIZED
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY. THE NET RESULT OF ALL THIS
DISCUSSION IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF UPWARD VERTICAL
MOTION TO WORK WITH OVER A PROLONGED PERIOD. QPF TOTALS ACROSS
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN OF AROUND 1 TO 1.5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED.

GIVEN THE PROJECTED QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM WOULD EXPECT A BAND OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW /POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT/ SOMEWHERE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND POSSIBLY INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. ONCE AGAIN WE/LL NEED BETTER
AGREEMENT AMONG THE FORECAST MODELS BEFORE WE CAN PINPOINT EXACTLY
WHERE THIS BAND SETS UP. TAKING A LOOK AT SOME RECENT
GUIDANCE...THE 21.00Z DETERMINISTIC GFS IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT
WITH ITS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND IS HOLDING STEADY TO THE NORTHERN
SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE. THIS SOLUTION WOULD TRACK A 989 MB
SURFACE LOW ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AROUND 06Z THURSDAY. THE
21.00Z NAM IS SIMILAR IN TRACK...BUT HAS A WEAKER /997 MB/ LOW.
THESE SOLUTIONS WOULD SUPPORT A LONGER PERIOD OF RAIN OR A RAIN-
SNOW MIX IN OUR SOUTHEASTERN AREAS BEFORE A TRANSITION TO SNOW
OCCURS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE 21.00Z ECMWF AND CMC REMAIN ON A
SLOWER AND MORE SOUTHERLY COURSE WHICH WOULD BRING BOTH COLDER
TEMPERATURES AND A LONGER DURATION EVENT WITH PRECIPITATION /IN
THE FORM OF SNOW/ CONTINUING INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON OR PERHAPS
EVENING. SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATION WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH
THIS SCENARIO. STAY TUNED AS WE REFINE THIS FORECAST IN THE COMING
DAYS. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE POTENTIAL OF WINTRY
WEATHER RETURNING TO AT LEAST PARTS OF THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY
EVENING INTO THURSDAY.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

LOOK FOR QUIET WEATHER ON FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL.
LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.

AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

VFR CONDITIONS TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH SCT-BKN MID TO HIGH CLOUDS
VIA WARM ADVECTION. A 35-45 KT LLJ WILL VEER FROM MN AND IA EARLY
THIS EVENING THROUGH SRN WI LATE TNT...AND EVENTUALLY ENDING UP
